History

The Old Post Office was built in the 1860s as a Residence and a Guest House with three letting rooms. Part of the house was also used as a Post Office until 2009. In 2012, the owners stopped offering bed & breakfast accommodation and expanded the property to include, what was the Post Office, and it then became a large self-catering holiday home. For a large majority of the time of the building, it has been welcoming guests to the Grange-Over-Sands area.

  • There is private parking for two cars to the rear and additional street parking for two cards to the front.
  • Secure bicycle parking is available in the garage to the rear of the property.
  • The raised rear garden has 10 steps leading up to it.
